DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC65082 Status: Closed

IN DB2 V9.7, AUTOMATICALLY REWRITE OR PREDICATE IN SELECT DISTINCT
QUERY INTO UNION OPERATOR

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
An OR predicate that involves a table join is evaluated as a 
Sargable predicate at runtime. 
 
The OR predicate can already be converted to UNION operator by 
DB2 query rewrite.  As result each 
OR subterm predicate can become efficient start-stop key 
predicate. 
 
Such rewrite requires certain conditions. One of them is the 
query must be SELECT with DISTINCT, and another is the OR 
hosting SELECT operator must have no join predicate between OR 
referenced tables and any other table. 
 
The latter condition is relaxed by this enhancement. An example 
is: 
 
SELECT DISTINCT ... 
WHERE 
T1.X = T2.X 
AND ( 
     T1.Y = T3.Y AND T2.Z=1 
     OR T1.Y = T4.Y AND T4.Z = 1 
) 
 
The SELECT has a join predicate T1.X=T2.X, in which T1 is 
referenced by OR predicate 
but T2 is not. This enhancement enables the conversion from OR 
to UNION.
